[WAPO] Guevara also rebutted a report by a Dallas TV station that quoted her as saying that Scalia had died of "myocardial infarction." In an interview with The Washington Post, she said she meant only that his heart had stopped.
"It wasn't a heart attack," Guevara said. "He died of natural causes."
In a statement Sunday, the U.S. Marshals Service, which provides security for Supreme Court justices, said Scalia had declined a security detail while at the ranch, so marshals were not present when he died. "Deputy U.S. Marshals from the Western District of Texas responded immediately upon notification of Justice Scalia's passing," the statement said. |
